 Topic: Favorite Planet

Simple question.
I didn't include Earth because then either everyone would pick it or somebody wouldn't pick it and that would piss me off.
Neptune has always been my favorite. As a kid I loved it because I found it aesthetically pleasing, and I thought the great dark spot was really cool (though I never thought as much of Jupiter's great red spot). As an adult, my interest was renewed due to its theoretical method of discovery. It's an awesome planet. Plus Triton is a badass moon with its retrograde orbit. It's really the only substantial traditional moon in the solar system that has that kind of orbit.

I'd be worried for you if anyone votes for Uranus. I like Saturn because I thought that that had a good ring to it.

Mars because we will find a form of life there one day.
Second vote would go to Neptune because of its harsh beauty.

And, again, it's a solar-sytem-centric poll!

Because most people here know the names of the other planets scientists have discovered in other solar systems. Saturn, though my favorite is Planet X

hmm Mercury
is quite a bi-polar planet since it doesnt agree with himself to ether bee the
warmest planet or the coldest planet since it goes from 430¤ C to bitingly
-160¤C, so it has it's qualitys
Mars is also quite cool for being possible life bringer, and for having the
largest mountain in the solar system Olympic Mounts (20 000 meter over
"sea" level)
Jupiter is awesome because it weighs more than the other 7 planets combines,
and is huge, and is a really beautiful planet, with a large red spot.
Neptune is coooooooool, and also have a nice blue colour, also have a darker
blue spot which contains the solar systems strongest storm,
Uranus have a nice green colour is also could and lies on its head and spins vertically
around the sun like a wheel. not as a ball,
Saturn is also a interesting planet with
a lot of fascinating stuff, and the planet Titan surpasses Triton in the level
of awesomeness
and Venus is hot, dangerous and a inferno of all that can be deadly to humans

Pat and I gree on something (however meaningless it might be)... and for the same reasons, too
BTW, Uranus and Jupiter also have rings around their colours, but the inclination makes it it doesn't reflect the sunlight
second fave is Mars, because in 200 years, man will have colonized it by creating oceans and atmosphere.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I'd love to see the surface of Venus, since it's closest to Earth, yet so very different in many respects.

Protip: those who picked Uranus are gay and those who picked Venus are straight.

You didn't include Pluto. I am remarkably upset by this.
Mars first. Bitches don't know about my potential terraforming in 200 years.
Saturn second. If could float on water if we had a large enough body of it. How doesn't that blow your mind.
Neptune third. Nice color, all blue and sh*t.
